LOGIN"He's the alpha women obey. She's the lone wolf who refuses to kneel because kneeling is what got her family killed." Ryley Halliwell has spent seventeen years hiding from the werewolf world. Her fated mate never marked her before he vanished into the massacre that destroyed her pack, and months later he'd already claimed someone else, leaving her alive, unmarked, and impossible to explain. She's been running from that world, and from fate itself, ever since. To everyone around her, she's a brilliant forensic accountant and a fiercely protective single mother. What she is underneath is the last surviving Luna of a bloodline someone still very much wants controlled. A summer contract pulls her into the territory of the wealthy, feared Orion Pack, and everything she's built starts to unravel. Alpha Blake Orion doesn't just want obedience from her, he wants to understand the pull he can't explain, the jealousy he has no right to, the protectiveness that grows sharper every time she's threatened. Widowed, guarded, and certain he'd never want anyone like this again, Blake finds himself unable to stay away from the one woman who won't bow to him. But Ryley's audit of Orion's finances is dragging old corruption into the light, and the man who orchestrated her family's destruction seventeen years ago is still out there, still powerful, still protected by a council that has far more to hide than anyone in Orion territory realizes. Caught between an old bond that never claimed her and a new one she doesn't trust herself to survive, Ryley has to choose: keep running, or finally stand and fight for the family she was never supposed to get to have.

She scoffed in frustration. “Ryley, it’s good to see you again, sorry for the interruption,” Blair said. “Don’t apologize this is our floor. Not hers.” She huffed. I just smiled. even though I wanted to punch her in the face. This was Blake’s home and he invited me to live here with him. “I don’t think there is a room ready for you. I’d be happy to make one up if you’d like to have a seat in the living room.” I said. “Are you also the help?” She sneered. “No, just offering to do something nice. But if you can handle it, I was just on my way out.” I told her. “You go on dear, we can handle making a bed,” he told him. I gave him a nod before grabbing my purse and leaving. As soon as I closed the door behind me, I let out the breath I was holding in. Great, now I have to deal with her. I rushed down the stairs and out o
Ryley After leaving Blake and Luca in my office, I headed upstairs to get a room ready for Walter. I also needed to get some laundry done, make dessert, and find an outfit for dinner this evening. I was feeling anxious about sitting with everyone. I was now a member of the pack, not just a visitor. “And future luna,” Lily chimed in. I let out a groan as I entered our apartment. “Maybe, Lily, I don’t know. I want to be with Blake but do I want all the responsibilities that come with being with an alpha?” I sighed, as I walked from room to room collecting laundry. “We are a Luna by birth. I chose Blake and his wolf as our mates. Not just because we could be forced to be with Dorian or another alpha, but because I love him. I love him for us. He takes care of us and our pup. And no other alpha would do that for us, I assure you.” She said. “I don’t know if I’m ready for that just yet. What if Blake wants more kids? And I don’t think I want to live in the pack house. There is just so
Alpha Blake I wasn’t looking forward to speaking with Ryley’s ex–mate. Logical, it was a good idea, but I couldn’t help but hate him. I never wanted him around my family again. The phone rang for what felt like forever before it went to Luna Lisa’s voicemail. Ryley left a message before ending the call. I let out a breath, thankful I didn’t have to deal with Dorian right now. Right now, I just wanted to enjoy the fact that Ryley and Channing are a part of my pack. “Hopefully, she’ll call back soon,” Ryley said, leaning back against me “You should give Isabella a call. Aiden said she was pretty upset with the way the board handled the promotion.” I told her. “I’ll send her a text. I’m sure Isaac has already bitched to his sister about me. And I’m in no mood to deal with that right now.” She sighed, before typing away on her phone. “Are you done for today?” She asked me when she was done. “I can be, why?” I questioned. “I have to go make up a room for Walter. Is it okay that he
Ryley As soon as Channing was officially a member of the Orion pack, there was a knock on my office door. I sighed knowing it was Isaac. I never wanted to see him again. Blake moved to open the door, and it was indeed Isaac. “Mr. Miller, what can I do for you?” Blake said to him. “I came to apologize to Ryley. I was out of line.” I heard him say. “Apology accepted,” I called out, not wanting this to drag on more than it had to. “I signed the paperwork.” He told Blake. He nodded before closing the door. “What was that about?” Channing asked as Blake came to sit on the couch beside me. “He said some shit to your mother, and I told him if he did apologize I would bankrupt his company,” Blake shrugged and I gasped. “Blake, over a few angry words?” “At least he got to keep his life. If he was a wolf, he would be dead for what he said to you.” He wrapped his arm around my shoulders, pulling me against him, he kissed my temple. “Is that normal? To feel that overprotective?” Channin
